Dear Friend;
This is a beautiful day out Just like an October day back in good old Indiana.
Have real saw some of the beautiful West sceans leaving Mississippi have crossed the
Rockies Bitter Root, Montains also crossed the Desert of Eastern Washington. The
Mountains were realy pretty. We crossed the divid about 4 A.M. Coming down the
Mountains looking down in Butte Mont. Was sure beautiful as it was still dark and the
lights from the town was pretty.
We are close enough to Mt. Ranier that you can see the snow on it. It is about 70 miles
from
